How old is the oldest person in the world? What did they eat on a regular basis? Well not it is all revealed. Emma Martina Luigia Morano was born on 29th of November 1899 in Civiasco, Vecrcelli, Piedmont, Italy. She was 117 years old when she passed away on 15th of April 2017.

Emma was oldest of the eight kids in her family and moved around a lot. When she was old enough, she left her family’s side due to a doctor’s recommendation. Apparently her health was affected due to the bad weather she had in that area.

Despite having a steady job her life was difficult. She lost her first true love in the wars when she was 26 years old. Later she got married to Giovanni Martinuzzi and her son was born in 1937.
